hadithi hadithi is a moving image exchange centering stories that reimagine space through excavation of folklore and visual mythmaking. Featured artists use a variety of approaches rooted in pre-modern storytelling such as oral narration, anthropomorphising, improv, allegory, and other gifts of unfettered make-believe for a recreation or reinterpretation of place, history, origin and identity. Taken together, the work seeks to visualize what stories, encounters, epiphanies and resolutions reside watchfully in unoccupied spaces.
Artists have included Valerie Asiimwe Amani, Arafa Hamadi, Gertrude Malizana, Sekai Machache, Rhona Mulhebach, and Saoirse Wall, and featured work by several others.
Key partners: LUX Scotland, Zanzibar International Film Festival, and BMovie Hamburg <3
